Based out of Miami, Modernage has released three records: the Debut EP ‘Receiver,’ single ‘Strangers/This Song,’ and their new EP ‘Sirhan Sirhan.’ The indie quintette has toured the US east coast, Los Angeles, Mexico and all of Florida opening for major label acts such as Bloc Party, The Stills, The Walkmen, Magnet, Elefant and Peter Hook. Modernage videos have been on rotation in Mexico, South America, and various US networks including band profiles on MTV3 and Plum TV. The early single ‘'The Shore'’ is currently in use in Toyota’s Yaris 'Test Drive online campaign.
Over the course of their short career, Modernage has solidified its signature motifs: driving bass lines, tight energetic drums, cutting guitars, and Giancarlo's forceful balladry. The ‘Sirhan Sirhan EP’ builds on this sound and takes off in a new direction. ‘The Victim’ starts off the record with pounding drums and an overblown synth culminating in Giancarlo’s affective chorus. ‘Somewhere’ is alternative pop rock at it’s finest. It’s reggae influenced verses give way to an anthem-like outro unlike anything Modernage has done before. ‘Creatures’ is heart of the record. It’s beautiful guitar harmonies, tight rhythm section, and vocal melodies are perfectly crafted to tug at the heartstrings. In ‘7/9/12’ the band show go electronic with a four on the floor dance track. With a nonstop bassline, memorable guitar riffs, and Giancarlo’s crooning, the title track ‘Sirhan Sirhan’ closes out the record by doing what Modernage does best.
With tour dates being planned for 2009, the videos for ‘Creatures’ and ‘7/9/12’ ready for release, and their new single ‘Young City’ in the works, Modernage is ready to take on the world.

Don't turn your head around
Don't fade this way where delirious thoughts are found
You don't know why these things come by or the reasons why you can't say goodnight nor the way the wind removes the hair from your eyes
Don't fade away your smile keeps me around, this is the day when illusions take the crown
I am remembering how it was dazed drowning in your empty silent stare
How the words exchanged were never fair to the night
So lets try to make tonight as it was long time ago
Cuz now I am leaning in you, yeah now I am bleeding in you
Don't say you are blown against your will
Don't say you can't believe me when I am old
You've been guessing what I am thinking of, and you are trying to justify what's done, in an instant all this will be gone, don't forget to dive into the fall,
Oh baby it's gone we couldn't recognize, yes baby it's all done it failed to realize
So lets try to make tonight as it was long time ago
Cuz now I am leaning in you, yeah now I am bleeding in you
They said this world was trivial... they said our views were wrong, they made us serve the servants and then offered us the throne
I guess I failed to do some things I swore there was no common sense, I wish I would have stayed that night with you, I'll never sacrifice... it wouldn't have been a sacrifice
Oh baby it's gone we couldn't recognize, yes baby it's all done it failed to realize
So lets try to make tonight as it was long time ago
Cuz now I am leaning in you, yeah now I am bleeding in you
The lyrics of the song "Bella" by Modernage seem to revolve around a relationship that has ended, but the singer is still yearning for it to be like it used to be. The first verse talks about not wanting the person to look away and fade away, as their smile is what keeps the singer around. The lyrics also suggest that the relationship ended badly or unfairly, with "words exchanged were never fair to the night". The chorus repeats the melancholy statement that "baby it's all gone" but the singer wants to try to bring back the magic of the past.
The second verse has a touching line "now I am leaning in you, yeah now I am bleeding in you" which suggests that the singer is opening up and being vulnerable with the person again. The song takes a philosophical turn in the bridge, as the lyrics question societal norms and the world being "trivial". The singer admits that they wish they had stayed with the person that night and concludes by saying "it wouldn't have been a sacrifice", inferring that they would do anything to go back and make the relationship work.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that has ended and the singer is trying to revive it, while acknowledging their faults and regrets.

Don't look away
Don't avoid looking at me
Don't turn your head around
Don't ignore me and look away
Don't fade this way where delirious thoughts are found
Don't let your thoughts take over and make you crazy
You don't know why these things come by or the reasons why you can't say goodnight nor the way the wind removes the hair from your eyes
You don't understand why things happen the way they do or why you can't say goodbye, and even the wind bothers you
Don't fade away your smile keeps me around, this is the day when illusions take the crown
Don't disappear because I want to stay with you, even if it's just an illusion
I am remembering how it was dazed drowning in your empty silent stare
I remember how lost I was staring into your empty, silent gaze
How the words exchanged were never fair to the night
The words we spoke to each other never did justice to the night
Oh baby it's gone we couldn't recognize, yes baby it's all done it failed to realize
We lost our chance and didn't even know it, we failed to realize it
So lets try to make tonight as it was long time ago
Let's try to make tonight feel like it did a long time ago
Cuz now I am leaning in you, yeah now I am bleeding in you
Because now I am relying on you, and I am hurting with you
Don't say you are blown against your will
Don't say you didn't want this to happen
Don't say you can't believe me when I am old
Don't say you won't believe me when we are old
You've been guessing what I am thinking of, and you are trying to justify what's done, in an instant all this will be gone, don't forget to dive into the fall,
You've been trying to read my mind and justify our situation, but it could all end in an instant so let's take the risk
They said this world was trivial... they said our views were wrong, they made us serve the servants and then offered us the throne
They told us the world was meaningless, and that our opinions were wrong, they made us work for them and then tried to make us leaders
I guess I failed to do some things I swore there was no common sense, I wish I would have stayed that night with you, I'll never sacrifice... it wouldn't have been a sacrifice
I admit I made some mistakes, and I regret leaving you that night. I won't ever make that mistake again, because being with you is no sacrifice
